Well then, I hope the GOP treats Trump with respect.
If either Trump or cruz is the nominee, they won't be treated with respect. The GOPe will pull the same stut as they did with Goldwater-- when the Rockefeller wing sat on their hands.
Fortunately, the establishment doesn't have the same influence today that it had in 1964.
Lord, think of where we'd be today had Goldwater been elected -- no escalation in Viet Nam, no War on Poverty, Social Security still free-standing, practical and effective Civil Rights and Voting Rights laws, etc. The beginning, perhaps of 24 consecutive years of conservative governance (no Carter). An earlier end to the Cold War, even.
Who says elections aren't important...???
